The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 016

It had already been three days since I thought, ‘A Korean with determination never gives up.’

When I asked why he wouldn’t go, he kept his mouth shut. When I sarcastically asked if he’d go after the college entrance exam, he kept his mouth shut. Did someone tape it closed?

​

Skill 【Immovable Tranquility】 is activated.

​

The rising anger quickly cooled down.

What could be the reason Kim Igyeol won’t go to the dungeon? After much deliberation, I narrowed it down to two candidates.

One, because he doesn’t know when the landlord might come to the house where I’d be left alone.

The other is because he doesn’t know what kind of trouble a kid with no memories might cause.

I feel like it’s the latter.

Something I often noticed was that Kim Igyeol had a tendency to look at me like a child left by the waterside.

It was ambiguous to get angry about not being a child, since all the behaviors I’d shown Kim Igyeol so far were generally untrustworthy ones.

Whining that he was the only person I could trust at our first meeting, not knowing my nose was bleeding, getting lost…

The first one was because of contract inducement, but Kim Igyeol wouldn’t know that, yeah.

Today too, I stayed outside until just before Kim Soyun’s end of work and then went in. Kim Igyeol was watching TV in the living room.

“Hasn’t noona come back yet?”

“She’s working overtime.”

Looking at it, Kim Soyun was a workaholic.

“Oh, noona said the landlord might drop by around the day after tomorrow.”

Good, one reason has already disappeared. I should coax him to go intensively this week.

After answering that I was grateful he told me, I came upstairs.

Anser, who was nestled in my arms, squirmed and then looked at my face, startled, and turned his head away.

⌈The baby’s smile is strange…⌋

Oops, expression management.

​

​

The good thing about becoming a constellation is having a body that doesn’t need sleep.

​

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ blinks rapidly, asking if you really won’t go.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ feels shy, saying they prepared a dungeon for you.

​

I sent a flurry of messages when Kim Igyeol was sleeping.

Ah, when he was awake wasn’t an exception either. I mean I kept sending them continuously regardless of time.

Perhaps annoyed that his vision was plastered with constellation messages, he responded irritably.

-Ah, I get it. I just need to go, right? Stop sending messages.

​

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ says what’s said is said, let’s go right now.

​

There was no answer, but I found out shortly after that it was an affirmative silence.

Kim Igyeol knocked on my room door.

“Serin, are you going for a walk with the fox today too?”

“I think I’ll go later.”

To see Kim Igyeol’s surroundings, I had to go to the subspace. It would be better to say I’m going for a walk.

“Got it. I’ll also go meet a friend briefly and come back.”

Kim Igyeol was kind to everyone except his own constellation.

I didn’t feel hurt for no reason. I got a little revenge by sending messages all dawn long.

Kim Igyeol greeted me saying he’d be back and closed the door. After hearing the front door close, I also put down the book I was holding to move.

‘But how do I open the subspace again?’

As soon as I thought about it, a pitch-black circle appeared in the air.

I put half my body in to enter, then pulled back out. I said I was going out with Anser, but Anser can’t stay at home.

“Anser, can you enter my space too?”

⌈If the baby invites me, it’s possible!⌋

“Good, I’ll invite you.”

The fox who heard my words bounced and jumped into the circle. When I followed in, the circle gradually shrank and disappeared.

In the subspace, the screen was already operating.

Through the large screen, I could see Kim Igyeol moving to the location I had mentioned.

Because the location was deep in the mountains, tree branches obscured the view.

Kim Igyeol summoned his sword and arrived at the dungeon entrance, cutting through branches.

A tree tangled with grass was the dungeon entrance. When he stepped on the tree roots, the screen flickered and the view switched.

​

You have entered Dungeon ‘Deceiving Dungeon (F)’.

​

Today’s dungeon was F-rank, a grade that Kim Igyeol, who was D-rank, could sufficiently clear.

​

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ advises to use only one sword from this strategy onward.

​

Before entering, I told him to use only one hand.

Kim Igyeol also seemed to recognize that he was pushing himself too hard, as he quietly dismissed the sword in his left hand.

The dungeon was quiet.

Except for the strangely abundant green leaves filling the surroundings, it didn’t even feel like a dungeon.

Kim Igyeol kicked a piece of grass that caught his foot while walking.

At that moment, the quiet grass all swelled up in unison.

What I thought were leaves were all monsters. The monsters that grew in size looked exactly like trees.

The swollen leaves were wrapped around the monster’s body like vines. The size was similar to the bee monsters from last time.

“Crazy, this is supposed to be F-rank! Were all of those monsters?!”

​

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ protests to the system asking if this is really F-rank.

​

My reflexive shout was also sent as a message. Filter this kind of stuff automatically, system.

Kim Igyeol, who was looking around, frowned and raised his hand to cover his nose.

-What is this smell.

He muttered as a foul odor seemed to be wafting inside the dungeon.

“For the smell, a mask!”

I hurriedly purchased an item labeled ventilation mask from the shop and delivered it.

With a much more comfortable expression, he leaped up onto the monster.

At the same time, I had the illusion of making eye contact with the monster through the screen.

​

Angelica Grass (E-rank)

Core: Flower on head

​

What do I do if E-rank monsters appear when the dungeon is F-rank? They said it was F-rank but I was deceived. I sent him thinking he just needed to build up his body, but this is a disaster.

Even the monster guide seems wrong, doesn’t it? Where’s the flower on the head?

Surprised by the system’s guidance, I squinted and stared intently at the screen. Looking closely, there really was a very small flower.

It’s adorably small. Isn’t a wildflower on a rock-sized head a bit disproportionate?

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ mutters that the small flower that doesn’t match the build is absurd.

Quick-witted Kim Igyeol would understand that this is the core, right?

Kim Igyeol, who saw my message, glanced up at the top of the monster’s head.

After confirming the location of the core, he steadied his breathing and gripped his sword with force.

Kim Igyeol thrust his sword into the monster’s body. He raised his eyebrows slightly as it went in easier than expected.

When he pulled out the sword, pure white viscous fluid like blood oozed out from the spot.

⌈Ugh, that’s disgusting. Baby, let’s not look at this.⌋

Anser, who had been on the bed, climbed onto my thigh with a look of revulsion.

I felt the same way, but I couldn’t look away from the screen. I petted the fox covering its eyes with its tail and focused on the screen again.

Kim Igyeol easily cut through the vines due to their unexpectedly weak resistance. The same white, sticky blood flowed out.

Using only one hand definitely made his movements look more fluid.

I looked at the monster on the screen and muttered.

“It looks just like a rubber tree.”

Oh, wait.

Just as I was about to warn Kim Igyeol due to a sudden thought that occurred to me.

The monster, dodging Kim Igyeol’s sword swing aimed at cutting the flower, extended its vines long and slammed him to the ground.

That’s not E-rank. How is that E-rank!

There must have been sharp stones on the ground, as scratches appeared on Kim Igyeol’s face shown on the screen.

I purchased recovery potions from the shop to sponsor him while watching the battle.

He quickly got up and gripped his sword again to charge, but somehow his movements seemed quite slow.

“That’s paralysis fluid.”

“Huh?”

Since I was the only one listening, the fox spoke aloud and gently lowered its tail to explain.

“Sticky and white. That’s not the monster’s blood, but paralysis fluid.”

When told it mainly takes effect upon contact with wounds, I examined Kim Igyeol’s condition. It seemed the liquid had been absorbed into the wounds he got from rolling on the ground.

I frowned slightly and asked the fox.

“How did you know this?”

“I know the star that created that thing.”

There was longing in Anser’s voice. It seemed to be a star close to Anser.

“But that star shouldn’t be in their &◆ right now either.”

Anser muttered as if finding it strange. I had to interpret the inaudible word myself.

If they’re not in subspace, where would they be? Sellas, the Homeland of the Stars?

It didn’t feel like that kind of statement though. It seemed like they hadn’t seen each other for quite a while.

While listening to Anser’s words, Kim Igyeol’s movements became even more sluggish.

I hurriedly purchased an antidote from the shop.

The fox, who had been lost in nostalgia, brushed my knee with its tail as if feeling sorry.

“Baby, regular antidotes don’t work on that paralysis fluid.”
